An Undergraduate Student Flow Model: Australian Higher Education.

Shah, Chandra; Burke, Gerald

Higher Education, v37 n4 p359-75 Jun 1999

A Markov chain is used to model the movement of undergraduates through the higher education system in Australia. Given the student's age on commencing a course of study, the model provides estimates of the probability of course completion, mean time for completion, and mean time spent in the higher education system.
